Looking south from Doheny Beach to Capistrano Beach with the hills, sand beaches and ocean that seem to stretch forever, it's understandable why locals think this special portion of the Orange County, California coastline is best kept unpublicized. Capistrano Beach is one of those great beaches that offers a friendly, small town atmosphere. Unlike the wide and sandy beaches to the north in Newport and Huntington Beach, this area's beaches are generally narrower stretches at the base of hills and cliffs. Source: BeachCalifornia.com
